With Easter only a hop away, egg-cited staff at Shannon Airport are eggs-pecting a busy Easter season as they prepare for over 123,000 passengers to hop on planes at Shannon over its busiest holiday period so far this year.

CEO of The Shannon Airport Group Mary Considine said: “Our teams across the airport will be on hand to ensure a smooth experience for over 123,000 passengers we expect to see through Shannon over the Easter break. We are looking forward to welcoming overseas visitors, as they bring a welcome boost in tourism across the region for the Shannon Airport Easter season.

“Traditionally the Easter break kick-starts the summer season to our popular destinations and it’s great to see the excitement of families and friends travelling overseas for a sun or city break. Facilities such as our US Preclearance and the airport sensory room, along with the short distance from our car parks to the terminal building, are making Shannon a favourite airport with people from all over Ireland. We wish all our passengers a safe and enjoyable Easter.”
